Experience Lakeshore Living in Douglas

Step into a completely reimagined retreat where everything—from the floors beneath your feet to the art on the walls—is brand new. Tucked in a peaceful Douglas Lakeshore neighborhood and just a short stroll from Douglas Beach, this home invites you to slow down, breathe deep, and savor the best of Michigan’s lakeshore.

Mornings might begin on the covered patio with a fresh cup of coffee, listening to the rustle of leaves and the call of songbirds. Deer, wild turkey, and curious squirrels often make a quiet appearance, and in summer, butterflies drift lazily across the grassy yard. Evenings are for laughter and conversation gathered around the fire pit or under the stars on the expansive patio.

Inside, natural light floods the soaring two-story living room through walls of windows and sliding doors that open to the outdoors.

Curl up on a sofa with a good book, stream your favorite shows on the 4K Smart TV, or enjoy the cozy glow of the electric fireplace—heat on or off depending on the season. Meals come together easily in the well-equipped kitchen, whether it’s a quick breakfast before the beach or a long, leisurely dinner with friends around the oversized dining table.

With four bedrooms and two bathrooms, there’s room for your whole group to relax and recharge. The layout offers flexibility—private spaces for quiet moments and gathering spaces for making memories together.

Beyond your door, adventure and charm await. Walk less than a mile for a morning latte or to rent paddleboards at Woosah, grab a classic hot dog and root beer at The Root Beer Barrel, or pedal the nearby bike path to explore downtown Douglas (1.1 miles) and Saugatuck (2.3 miles). From here, you’re within easy reach of sandy beaches, boutique shops, art galleries, wineries, breweries, antique markets, hiking trails, and farm stands overflowing with local produce.

Whether your perfect day includes kayaking at sunrise, browsing the farmers market, tasting local wine, or simply unwinding with friends in a beautiful space, this newly remodeled home is your gateway to it all.

Please Note:
Nature & Wildlife: This home is nestled in a beautiful natural setting where wildlife and insects are part of the experience. Routine pest control services are in place, but from time to time, you may encounter a curious critter, especially if doors are left open. If you notice any signs of pests indoors, please contact our office so we can promptly address it.
Cameras: This property has two exterior security cameras: one facing the driveway and another facing the main entry door. Both are motion-activated and record video and audio.
